Chlophedianol
Cough suppression by central action defines chlophedianol, which damps the cough reflex to relieve nonproductive cough rather than altering secretions in the airway. Mild antihistaminic and anticholinergic properties accompany that primary activity, and they account for part of the agent's side-effect profile. Formulations commonly combine it with other cough and cold ingredients rather than presenting it alone. The compound is a small molecule with the formula C17H20ClNO and a molecular weight of approximately 289.8 g/mol, and it is an approved agent whose clinical development reached the final phase. Its symptomatic role should be distinguished from that of expectorants and mucolytics, which target sputum rather than the reflex arc itself.
A centrally acting antitussive agent that suppresses the cough reflex to provide symptomatic relief from nonproductive cough. It is often used in combination with other cough and cold ingredients. It has mild antihistamine and anticholinergic properties in addition to its cough-suppressing activity.

Cơ chế tác dụng
A centrally acting non-opioid antitussive. Chlophedianol raises the threshold of the medullary cough centre, suppressing the cough reflex without acting at opioid receptors. It also carries mild local anaesthetic and anticholinergic activity.
